How asbestos garage roof removal works in Benhilton
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Benhilton, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common questions in Benhilton
Do you cover Benhilton and the area around Sutton Common station?
Yes, we cover Benhilton, including the streets around Sutton Common station.
Do older homes in Benhilton have asbestos?
Any home in Benhilton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?

What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Duty holders and landlords in Benhilton
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Your options compared
